Pygmy Owl Helena National Forest

I spotted the family of mountain goats on a treacherous cliff face. I wanted some action shots of them climbing so I scrambled up some of the splendidly rugged terrain until I was almost as high as them, about 150 yards away. After I set up my telephoto gear & got them sighted in, I set my exposure and started firing away. Shortly thereafter a cougar exploded over a fallen tree above the goats, shattering branches, legs kicking wildly and slid ten feet down the cliff. He caught his footing, coiled his huge hind legs and sprang towards the goats, his tail spinning like a propeller. The puma's gaze was fixed on the smaller of two billy goats, just feet from his target the lion was startled by the larger billy who made a courageous attempt to ram the cat to his doom. Head down, horns ready, the goat leapt forward all four hooves leaving the rock. The lion caught him in mid air with a blow to the side of his face (just before this shot). The two billies were across the cliff face in an instant, limestone crumbling and crackling down to the ground. The shaken goats reached barely accessible ledges and waited for the great cat to make the next move. After some intense staredowns, and carefully considered calculations, the lion slowly stalked away, disappearing amongst mountain mahogany and junipers. Be sure to check out the video in my VIDEOS gallery.

Your Bio

Driven by a love of wilderness and a passion for photography.
All of my work is of wild animals (special circumstances occur for the MT Wildlife Rehabilitation Center galleries and photos). I won't use dogs to chase, trap or harass wilderness dwellers. I don't ever use bait because of the dangers of habituation, not to mention the fact that it is illegal in most places, for good reason. Natural bait is another story, I may stake out a cougar kill, haunt a huckleberry patch or sneak around a lush meadow. I have a great respect for the wilderness and all of its inhabitants.
